There must now be a Second Referendum on the UK leaving or remaining in the EU.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With over 6 million petitioning to revoke Article 50, there should now be a Second Referendum, to resolve the impasse. The electorate are much better informed on the consequences of leaving the EU than was the case in 2016.
The result should then be accepted as binding by us all.
